About the brand Monolith, made by connoisseurs and roared by connoisseurs.

This November, a new bag brand called "MONOLITH" was launched. The director of the brand is Taisuke Nakamuro, a well-known representative of "MUROFIS" who is no stranger to the fashion industry. Nakamuro asked Daisuke Kamide, designer of "Theatra," to talk about the appeal of "Monolith" from a third-person's perspective.

Ballistic nylon has an irresistible appeal.

Let me ask you a little more about the "Monolith". The material is ballistic nylon, right?

Nakamuro：I wanted to make it as light as possible, so I chose CORDURA® BALLISTIC Hollofil AIR™ hollow fiber. However, the lining and the core material make it heavier than we wanted, but we wanted to finish the inside of the bag properly and neatly, so we could not compromise on that.

Appearance:As the expression goes, "God is in the details." I also believe that the true show is in what cannot be seen at a glance. In terms of material selection, there are an infinite number of choices, such as using advanced materials or using materials with different tastes to change the atmosphere, but here, too, I feel Nakamuro "dared not to do so.

Varistik's choice is, metaphorically speaking, a Nakamuro perspective, like a car of an older vintage that is more comfortable with the paint job as it was in the past.

Maybe I'm not complimenting you well at all, but is it okay with such a biased consideration? (Laughs)

Nakamuro：It's okay, I wanted to hear this kind of story from Mr. Kamide! (Laughs)
